All you need to know about Laser Hair Removal!

If you are going through constantly torturous shaving and waxing sessions, and tweezing seems like such a big issue, then laser hair removal might actually be a good idea for you. At HairMd, we get a lot of inquiries to this problem and it is one of the most common cosmetic procedures done in the USA. Here are some benefits to Laser Hair Removal:

It is a highly precise procedure. It can remove hair while not damaging the skin.

It is a fast process that targets a lot of hair together due to the laser radiation.

The average laser hair removal sessions required for patients are three to seven.

Here are some pointers you should know while considering a laser hair removal:

Giving it time is imperative.

Some preparation is required from your side to undergo a successful laser hair removal. You have to limit waxing, plucking, electrolysis for six weeks before the treatment. This is important because laser removes the in root hair which is removed temporarily by waxing or plucking. The growth is important for the precision.

Sun exposure is also to be avoided for six weeks before the treatment and after the treatment. For a day or two post the laser hair removal, your skin will look as if it is sunburned which will subside and give the desired results.

Why do you need to go for more than one sessions!

Although the average span for sessions ranges from 3-4 sessions for most patients, you might even require 7 sessions depending on the hair follicle growth and your response to the treatment. Do not give up on the treatment midway, because it would be a waste of time along with a wastage of money. Also remember, hair free smooth legs are not far away, you just need a little endurance.

Temporarily Permanent

Even though most doctors would claim that laser hair removal is permanent to lure distressed customers, it really is not. It takes years for the hair to grow back but they eventually do come back. By permanent, in clinical terms we mean that the duration it lasts for, it has a great display of negligible hair.

You have to do a lot more than just sittings with doctors.

Contrary to the popular belief, just sittings are not enough. You need to save your skin from sun exposure at least six weeks before the laser hair removal treatment begins.
